A guy has this setup on Craigs and claims that it comes out of a 72 A body. I am interested in it for the sway bar LCAs and sway bar. I haven't heard back from him yet but what do you guys think, does it look A body?

That looks like the '73-76 spool mount member. It will bolt in, with the motor mounts and the steering arms/sway bar being different than the early K.

I'd say the same thing. Not a '72 but better than a '72 provided you're ready to make the switch. You can run the front hung calipers with the inboard sway bar mounts. Plus there tends to be more options for sway bars. Should be a good find if the price is cheap. Double check to make sure it isn't a B/E body K frame. They can be a little hard to tell apart when they are out in the wild like that.

Ok thanks for the fast replies. I would probably only use the LCAs and sway bar brackets. Would this setup transfer to a 70 Duster V8 K frame? I've no idea where the sway bar brackets would mount on my car. Do they bolt to the K frame like this one?

Thanks

That is a 73-up A-body frame. The sway bar will not fit the 72-down frame.
I would just use the whole setup. That's what I'm using in my 72 Dart.

Yep, I figured out it was a '73 and up. I may pick it up. We'll see. It has different motor mounts than mine and that means searching for more stuff.

Not a real big search required, only thing you need is the 73 and up mounts available just about anywhere just about every RWD pass car that Chrysler made with a 318 from 1973 till 1989 used them. Rockauto lists them, for dirt cheap but I'd not use Anchor brand, too much junk. I also fill the voids in the rubber with black RTV, but that's just me.

Napa lists them.

Autozone lists them.

Yep, I saw them after I posted. Does the steering box bolt in the same way/position as on the 70?

I have to ask even though I'm sure that they are the same.

Thanks again

I have a set of poly SB mounts for sale on the board. These would be all you need to change over to the late model K frame.

May (or may not) need the '73 up PS pitman arm if going with PS

Ma Mopar made a few changes in the suspension and steering from 1972 to 1973. The K member, engine mount style, sway bar mounting, LCA sway bar tab location and the idler and pitman arm. The idler and pitman connect to the center link differently and are not interchangeable. The 73 and later design is superior, the center link can be removed without lifting the engine. The steering box mounted the same way but I'd weld in gussets to better support the whole deal. Best time to make mods is when the K is out of the car and on a table!
Oh, the first way to visually determine if the K is from an A or a B/E body? Look along the front edge of the K, nearest the radiator. The A body versions are straight, the B/E are curved.

Yep, will need the later pitman arm regardless, the tapered stud that connects to the center link points opposite than the 72 style. The 72 style points up, the 73 points down.

Again, rockauto shows both the 73 style manual and power pitman arms listed in Moog.

good info & I can see the straight edge on the front of the K in the pic

B body version:

the tapered (idler/pitman) studs point down on 64-66 A and up on 67-72 A then what Supercuda said, down on 73-76 A. Even tho a /6 and V8 centerlink is the same in 67-72 and 73-76 (tho different from each other in the two different year groupings) reportedly using a 73 up centerlink gives a slight bit more pan clearance in a tight app & you would need the appropriate idle/pitman arms whose tapered studs go in the centerlink from the top. the outside outer tie rod ends (the holes) are turned 90 deg (not sure why Ma did that) but does not affect swapability afaik cuz it is out on the ends. EDIT I'm remembering something about the 67 only idler & how it mounted in the kmember, that end of it, something about a 1 off deal
